Answer: No, the orders are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If event 1 has some possible outcomes, suppose that we choose a given outcome 1 with a probability P1, and event 2, also with different possible outcomes, we can select an outcome 2, that has a probability P2, and the two events are independent (meaning that the outcome in event 1 does not affect the outcome in event 2, and vice versa)

Then the probability of outcome 1 and outcome 2 happening at the same time is equal to the product of their individual probabilities.

P = P1*P2.

In this case, event 1 is the selection of the pizza, and outcome 1 is the selection of the square pizza, with a probability of 55%.

Event 2 is the selection of the drink, outcome 2 is the order of a soft drink, with a probability of 72%.

If those two events were independent, then the probability that a customer orders a square pizza and a soft drink would be:

P = 0.55*0.72 = 0.396 (or 39.6%)

But we know that the actual probability is 48%.

So this is larger, which means that the outcomes are not independent.

If the 11th term of a geometric sequence is 32 times larger than the 6th term, then
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term of a geometric sequence = ar^{n - 1}.

Where,

a = first term, r = common ratio,

We are given that, the 11th term is 32 times larger than the 6th term of the geometric sequence. Thus:

the 6th term can be expressed as ar^{n - 1} = ar^{6 - 1}

a_6 = ar^{5}

The 11th term is expressed as a_11 = ar^{10}

Since the 11th term is 32 times larger than the 6th term, therefore, the following equation can be derived to find the common ratio, r, of the sequence:

a_11 = 32*a_6

a_11 = ar^{10}

a_6 = ar^{5}, therefore:

ar^{10} = 32*ar^{5}

Divide both sides by ar⁵

\frac{ar^{10}}{ar^5} = \frac{32*ar^{5}}{ar^5}

r^5 = 32

r^5 = 2^5

r = 2

Common ratio = 2

Emile has calculated a one-tailed z-statistic of -1.97 and wants to see if it is significant at the 5% significance level.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Z = -1.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

What is the critical value for the 5% significance level?

One-tailed statistic, so Z with a p-value of 0.05.

Looking at the z-table, this is Z = -1.65, so this is the critical value for the 5% significance leve.
